An elderly woman had just returned to her home from attending the evening service at her church when she was startled by an intruder. She could see the burglar in the other room robbing her home of its valuables. All she could think of was the verse she learned at church that evening. She couldn’t remember the whole text, which was, “Repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ so that your sins may be forgiven,” but she did remember it came from Acts 2:38.
So, she yelled, “STOP! Acts 2:38!”
It worked! He must have known that verse! The burglar stopped in his tracks, knelt down, and lifted his hands. The woman calmly called the police and explained what she had done. As the officer arrived and cuffed the man to take him in, he asked the burglar, “Why did you just stand there? All the old lady did was yell a Scripture verse to you.”
“Scripture?” replied the burglar. “She said she had an Axe and Two 38’s!”
